As per the Apple Dev Forums:

With the most relevant part being:

"It is now possible to import your own frameworks into a playground. This provides a way to share code between your applications and playgrounds, which can both import your frameworks. To do this, your playground must be in the same workspace as the project that produces your framework. You must have already built your framework. If it is an iOS framework, it must be built for a 64-bit run destination (e.g. iPhone 5s). You must have an active scheme which builds at least one target (that target's build location will be used in the framework search path for the playground). Your "Build Location" preference (in advanced "Locations" settings) should not be set to "Legacy". If your framework is not a Swift framework the "Defines Module" build setting must be set to "Yes". Once all these conditions are fulfilled, importing your framework will work in a playground."

So you would need to add the SwiftHTTP.xcodeproj to a workspace, make sure you have it configured as stated above and have your playground in the workspace as well. Also, in the playground you will probably need to import the XCPlayground framework and set XCPSetExecutionShouldContinueIndefinitely to support the async calls. Your playground should probably look something like this:

import UIKit
import XCPlayground
import SwiftHTTP

XCPSetExecutionShouldContinueIndefinitely()

var request = HTTPTask()
request.GET("http://vluxe.io", parameters: nil, success: {(response: HTTPResponse) in
    if let data = response.responseObject as? NSData {
        let str = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
        println("response: \(str)") //prints the HTML of the page
    }
    },failure: {(error: NSError, response: HTTPResponse?) in
        println("error: \(error)")
})
